  Speaker 1: Here we go, and welcome to the Brain's Body Podcast.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I am Dr Christopher Kevin Slayton, your host and author of the Brain's Body Help to Improve Brain, body and Sense Events and my latest work, brain Talk Learning the Brain's Body with Dr Slayton Live Now.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Listen, we're talking about the crisis of self, and the crisis of self is when you don't know how to get out of your own way because you are so involved in poor emotional instincts or thought where you're not able to turn the corner and realize wait a minute, let me calm myself down, cool myself off, collect a sense of feel for self, because you're so upset at yourself but you're taking out another person.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: What I mean by that is your backward feed is stuck in a certain state of mind and you're grinding it out and you're blaming everybody but yourself.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Now, this may not be you, but it could be that person sitting next to you and just can't get through.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: So what do you have to do?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Brain talk, understanding your inner sense of feel and how it connects to your inner voice, and that backward feed has to connect with forward feed so that your brain talks back and you recognize the response of the brain to feelings of hurt, sadness, pain.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And then you begin to realize or recognize the reflection, but just don't reflect.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You have to move through the crisis of self, the experience of what happened, what continues to happen, and realize why it's happening.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Because in those three stages you are evolving out of the crises of stagnation and you're beginning to realize, wow, my action matters when I care about me.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: It moves to another level of concentration sense to feel, to focus.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But what are you really trying to do?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You're trying to wake up and begin to hold your own inside your own body.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But I say three things your brain, your body and your senses.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That's the human system and that's your message system, because you're always communicating through those three organs the brain, the body and the senses.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And when you begin to understand the inner voice that talks through your body and your body just reacts because the brain's left behind and the brain is the seat of thought how you think, what you think, why you think, when you think, where you think, who you think, with, without.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the crazy self, your trouble, high need.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: High need means emotionally upset, troubled, just difficult to be around, to get along with, good person, but there's always something that rises higher than the person inside that body that you care about.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And what are you trying to do?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Wow, just reach one time.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You think If I could just reach you one time we could turn this whole thing around, and that's true, but it takes every single day.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Remember this, rest, invest and live in each day to become more informed.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: This is Dr Clayton Lyon In my literature, explaining how we do this work.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And we do this work from a human system science perspective, because you have to understand what it means to be human.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: In the same breath, you have to share what it feels like to care about being human.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, now stop, because you just now began the journey of informing self, disciplining self and focusing self on what Management control and processing your sense of feel for self.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Because now you're saying I can feel me, I can feel my hurt, pain, anxiety rising.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, now let's move through it, let's not get caught up in it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: The states of the mind Remember.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I'm saying to you I don't believe in the current philosophy that the mind is the brain.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: No, it's not the brain.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: The mind is a reflective state of the experience.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: The day you were born, you began to develop a state of mind about the experience of life and then you move forward and that's like channeling the experience P and J's work.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Now, what I'm talking about is how you change that behavior, that state of mind.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: That state of mind is tied to the body as an environmental influence.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: That's why people can say I don't like you Because the way you use your body to think, okay.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: The way you use your body to hurt, okay.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Versus the brain Through signs of care for self and others, okay.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: That's a connection to the brain and the body.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Now, calm down.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: What are we talking about?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Management of the emotion?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: What are we talking about?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: The forward feed of thought?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Not past thinking, but we're talking about the experience of the present in a future sense, because you want to be better, you want to get better, you want to heal from the inside out.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So you have to move through the past to get into the future and at the same time, you're realizing the moment that you're really living.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And that's where the work is.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: How do I begin to fight to win back my sense of feel for self and other people?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And if you didn't have it, welcome the world, because now you will.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Because it takes practice.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Practice what, living every day to become more informed on how your brain senses and feels your body and transforms through neural processing, self-actualization.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'm still stuck on Maslow and I'm still talking about the transformation of self to higher states of participation and performance of self to higher states of participation and performance.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: That's why I talk about your tools Reading to the brain, writing to the brain, drawing to the brain, acting to the brain, performing to the brain.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Brain, talk, the connection.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Because each step you take, the brain is taking the lead and the body is becoming more manageable.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Because you're reflective.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: You're becoming more reflective, your reflection is becoming more clear.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Your imagination is now in sync with the hurt, pain and sadness that has held you back in the past.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: So when you imagine, you imagine through your instruments brain, body and sense connections to reading, writing, talking, drawing, acting and performing you can see yourself healing, you can feel your pain subsiding.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: This is Dr Slayton Live and I keep coming at you about the crisis of self.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm working on the crisis of self, and I'm working on healing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And what type of healing am I talking about?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Three things your brain, your body, your senses.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Because those are the things that communicate Inward, outward, forward, backward feed Emotion, thought, reflection, feedback, forward, feed Sense and receive path research, begin to understand self, begin to rationally understand how to stop self from falling, stop the crisis of self.
